I loved that thread, even if I didn't recognise half of it. Might try to revive it.

Please do! I love it so very much. (I think my favorite is Toon's Isengard Lost, but the whole thing is a long chain of gloriousness.)

Or perhaps I'll try. Hrm. *ponders Pterry books*

I was thinking Good Omens by Robert Heinlein...

Are you sure you don't mean Hop on Pop by the Timecube Guy?

Notwithstanding the position in which the esteem of Mlle. Weatherwax was held within the near-myopic introspection of the Bad Ass bourgeoisie (for it is a much-loved characteristic of the Lancre provincial that, proud to the point of mania over his village shrine or such leadwork as remains unstolen in the roof tiled a decade ago, he disregards happenings of the most momentous import to be of another world, though they occur but two valleys away), none was more resolute in its certainity than Mlle. Weatherwax herself; and, when such an attribute is borne as not only a shield against critique but a well-placed avalanche to brush it away entire, it is not unusual to find (as, near Hogswatch, one's eye may light upon a single verdant bud press its lustre too early on a snowy world that can never sustain it) that persons exist whose rustic instinct for intransigence, so facilitous in the field entire of their other peregrinations, causes them to voice a contrasting opinion; doubtless their fragile hopes never transgress so far as to anticipate a victory at the expense of one as at ease in the intimate company of the greatest men alive as elbow-deep in pregnant kine, yet by their recalcitrance they perhaps hope (a hope no less hopeless) to assert, however fleetingly, some acknowledgement of their existence's felicity; and among such unhappy fellows we must number the father of Eskarina.

Although I think you're exaggerating, perhaps, ever so slightly.

I must confess that the thought had previously occurred to me that one of the reasons that I like Proust is that he eases my conscience about the fact that I like to write in really long sentences most of the time; he makes it seem okay for those of us that are wordy.

(I've been meaning to get back to him, in French - a somewhat frightening thought.)

Holy cow. That's damn impressive.

Cudja post it to the forum? I doubt it'd make much sense to join just for this one post, but it'd be cool to get the thing moving again.
